CCC Newsletter # 03-14 Well happy March Everyone! I hope you're all enjoying your classics as much as I'm enjoying mine. I got one of mine out for the first time since last Summer! Started it up without much trouble, but after driving it for a bit remembered why I put it away. Really need to work on the shift linkage so I can figure out what gear I might be going into. Oh well, that's why we love our classics . because they always need us. Speaking of “needing”, here are several classics that are looking for a new home: • 1987 Chevy Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe that the seller is asking $6,000.00 for; and . • 2000 Pontiac Firebird; 6 cylinder convertible with 27K original miles. Owner believes this may be a “one of a kind” car. Asking $22K. Both cars are featured here with pictures: www.californiacarclubs.com/forsale.htm Check them out! And now how about some automotive trivia! This one is simple, and straight forward; • What is a “Trafficator”? And the bonus trivia question; • What American car was the first to offer factory installed turn signals as standard equipment? And now on to what you're waiting for . the upcoming shows!
